I've had the pleasure of having 2 treatments with Jurnee and they were wonderful! One was microneedling and she explained what she was doing to me very well and answered every question I had along the way. She is very knowledgeable at what she does but also respects the relaxation of the service. My skin was glowing and supple after both treatments! Highly recommend Jurnee and will be back! read more

Leeeeeegit leeeegit!!!! Definitely well trained therapists here. I'd say sports massage level - they know what they're doing - from facials to massages it's not a penny wasted on the amazing service. So relaxing and super friendly and professional. We don't live in Hawaii but wish we did so we could come here all the time. Seriously amazing. And easy to make appointments. Four thumbs up!!! read more

Helen's Haven is a hidden gem in Waialae Kahala! I was in desperate need of massage and did not want to drive far, so naturally I looked to Yelp and found Helen's Haven, literally less than a mile away. I was able to get a same day appointment, within an hour of my call. I booked a 1 hour deep tissue massage. I feel like I've stumbled upon a treasure! Helen's Haven is a very small spa oasis that is personable, clean, serene, peaceful and quite affordable for what you get! My therapist Karlyn was as sweet as can be and have a great deep tissue massage with some much needed stretching. I love that she places peppermint essential oils under the head rest for an added element of relaxation. She also used the use of warm towels at different points in the massage which was lovely. Helen's Haven also has an app that allows you to book appointments, keeps tracks of awards and delivers specials and discounts. You can also refer friends and they will get $20 off and so will you! This is an incredible deal! I'm so glad I found Helen's Haven, as I know I will be returning often! read more

You literally" float" away from Helen's Haven. Helen gave me her signature Helen's facial and Perfector (skin firming) treatment. I have never felt so soft and smooth!!! While working on my face, my hands had been messaged, wrapped loosely and placed in hand warming mitts. I asked, "What would this accomplish?" At the end of my session my hands felt like "buttah"...This whole treatment really made me feel special, beautiful and so thankful that someone like Helen was so close. She even has her own line of skin care products. I bought her Skin Tech Luminous Stem Cell Serum. It's pricey, but it makes me feel like a $million$. ( The stem cells are generated from Swiss Apples...interesting) Helen's Haven is easy to find and if you are driving there is plenty of free parking. She is in a building behind the Lanikai Juice store near the Kahala Mall. There is a Doggie Day Spa close by. (If you have a precious pooch, pamper yourself at Helen's while your baby is being groomed.) read more

We were staying at the Kahala and wanted a nice day spa. Found Helens Haven on Yelp. The spa was less than a mile from our hotel. The staff was so nice and kind, they went out of their way to make my daughters and I feel special. I would advise anyone looking for a lovely day spa to check out Helens! The massage was amazing....and my facial was perfect. read more

For six months now, I've been going to Helen's for monthly two hour massages. After a long hiatus of regular exercise, the therapist really helped my body 'recover' from my roving aches and pains. She was really good at determining my 'at the moment' pain at the start of each session and focused on it. I love a good deep tissue massage (often the therapists break a sweat when working on me). Massage therapists are what they are and not mind-readers. Feedback is key to getting what you're paying for or it should be reflective in their tip envelope. The body waxing was a interesting experience as well. The technician was as gentle as possible and communicative as well. The only slightly bad thing about this place is parking. It can get a bit cramped. read more

I've been having Helen's signature facials for the past 20 years or so. I don't wear any makeup so what you see is literally what you get. Keeping up on a skin care regimen is not in my nature, but coming to see Helen for my monthly facial is something I gladly upkeep. Over the years I've been to various spas and treatments here and there but they never can beat the quality of Helen's facials. In all my years, I have never walked away from Helen's Haven disappointed. As I age, my skin is ever changing. I never know what to expect. But, I know and I trust that Helen will always make the best suggestions for care and use the most suited products to address my current needs. Whether it's extreme dry skin or an acne breakout, Helen always knows just what my skin needs. Most people dread it, but I think the best part of the process is the extractions. Helen is the best on extractions, she gets every little one and I never walk away looking red or splotchy. One of the hardest things I've had to learn over the years is to not pick at my skin, now I gladly leave it to Helen to handle. I always highly recommend Helen's Haven to everyone who asks. read more

I have been going to Helen's Haven for almost ten years now and I love it there. I either get their Signature Facial or full body massage or both if it's been one of those weeks. The Signature Facial comes with a shoulder and upper back massage that makes going through the extractions worth it! When you first walk into the treatment room you can pick a scent that will be infused into the facial process which includes cleanser, steaming, extractions, facial massage, mask, the aforementioned upper back and shoulder massage, toner, and moisturizer. Every massage I have had there has been awesome! They have always asked how the pressure was and if it wasn't what I wanted, they would adjust it to what I was comfortable with. The staff is very welcoming and every time I walk out of Helen's I feel relaxed, refreshed, and renewed. read more

I called for a same day appointment today and was offered a 230pm, to my delight Kristina called back and said they could see me at 1130am. When I arrived I was impressed with the clean professional atmosphere and that they had shelves of products I use at home. When I entered the massage room it smelled or relaxing peppermint, nice touch! Tifany was an excellent LMT and offered some great stretching exercises. I highly recommend Helen's, and hope to go back when I return to HI. read more

This is the one luxury that I afford myself other than going to the gym. The ladies here know how to make you feel like a queen and you feel so relaxed after your treatment. For me, Karlyn is the best for facials and massages. She may look tiny but don't let that fool you. She has a lot of strength to give deep tissue massages if you need it. They actually have an app for your phone now that makes it so much easier to request appointments. I highly suggest that you give them a try. read more

Best of the best - really. I have been receiving services at Helen's Haven for almost 20 years. I refer people to Helen's Haven frequently, in fact just the other day. My friend told me she read an alarming review here on Yelp (Feb 9, 2016, by someone using a cryptic name.) Since I refer people frequently I decided to have a look - and I am completely stunned by the rambling tirade by a person who uses a cryptic name. That reviewer must be a competitor or someone with a hidden agenda. Her claims about the facility and staff are simply false. I have had so many different services - Mini facial, Signature facial, Stone facial, Massages, Foot Massages paired with a facial, waxing, and more. I have taken my best friends and good clients here for a special treat. Every visit is a delight, the staff is always courteous and professional. My skin is quite sensitive and I have used most of the products offered at Helen's Haven (including the Gunilla mask) with excellent results. Three Cheers for Helen's Haven! read more

If I could give Helen's Haven 100 stars I would! I waited over two weeks to write this review because I wanted to be able to review Helen's skin care products. I have had problems with uneven tone and oily skin. I received my first ever facial on 1 Sep. Helen was patient, gentle and thorough. The facial was outstanding. My skin glowed and felt great. But the best part is that I (and others) notice REAL, VISIBLE results with my skin over the past 2 1/2 weeks using her line of Skin Tech products. I have always been hesitant about facial procedures and products because darker skin can sometimes be prone scarring and discoloration. I did not experienced any of this after my facial or since using Skin Tech daily. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Helen, for a great visit and a wonderful introduction to skincare! read more

After reading a lot of positive reviews, I'm going to do my eyelash extension here this time. But end up very disappointed. Maybe it's my bad luck, the girl sorry, I don't remember her name witch you can find at the photo second to the left. She ask me way too many personal informations. She does my eyelashes just like others I went. But when I leaving, she doesn't even say a "thanks or goodbye", that's it. I'm not going back. Updated: I just added one more star because the owner Helen. R she does read the Yelp reviews and comments on mine to improve their service. Thank you! read more

Ronnie is far the best Eye Lash specialist! My lashes last for at least 3 to 4 weeks and I am very active and moderately take care of my lashes and my lashes still last. If you're looking for lash extensions Helens Haven /Ronnie is definitely a must! read more

What an amazing experience!!! Karlyn was my esthetician and she was the best!! I got a mini facial and a massage. She's easy to talk to, professional, and extremely skilled. I left the salon feeling like a million bucks! My face feels so clean and appears silky smooth! I usually have chronic back pain and after my massage there was no pain. I highly recommend this special Haven that is a true Blessing. read more

This place is a gem located in my neighborhood! The staff are friendly and the two masseuses I saw were wonderful! I'll definitely be back!

This is the place for serious skin care. Repair-the-years-of-Hawaii-sun-exposure-damage kind of skin care. Helen's seems to be either for people who are already serious about skin care or people like me who have the "years of damage" issues. It's not about be-pampered-for-some-stress-relief, although it's relaxing enough. The repair treatments are fairly expensive, IMHO, and they're good. In years of flitting around town to various spas when I wanted to feel virtuous like I was taking care of myself, no treatment ever seemed much different than another by a day later. I did one treatment at Helen's and my skin still looked better a week later. I've now done various treatments there & totally trust Helen's recommendations. She steered me from a more-expensive treatment to another that worked great. So if I look at it that way, using my champion shopper's math skills, the treatments at Helen's aren't so expensive. read more

I went to Helen's Haven for a signature facial. I was very disappointed! After reading all the reviews and calling to make the appointment, I was looking forward to a great treatment. In addition, I was really hopeful that this would be a great place because of all the other services they offer like massage, botox, waxing etc. Wow! what a great idea for a one stop beauty shop! I called to make my appointment and asked about the facials. I was told the that Signature Facial was great and included a neck, shoulder and arm massage during the mask. On the phone I was told it was a 90 minute facial, in the office I was told it was 75 minutes - ok no problem, but then my aestitician wasn't even in the room for a good 10-15 minutes of it! I kept thinking to myself "I am not paying for a facial so that I can sit in a room with cream on my face - alone". The woman who treated me, WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM 3 TIMES!!!!! I have never experienced such a thing! In my opinion, an aestitician should be touching you throughout the entire treatment, Not walk in and out. Aside from that, there was very little facial to the treatment. She did a great shoulder massage - but very little of anything else. Then, it seemed that she was emphasizing all the products at the end. I am extremely disappointed. - My advice, if you want a facial go elsewhere. read more

Ladies, the facial's here are top notch. I've moved from HI and have tried to find a spa that can match the quality of service from Helen and no one comes close. She's skilled at what she does and takes her time. Helen really set the bar for me. I'm amazed that some spa's try to steam and throw on creme and call that a facial. Oh no you didn't. Her product line is fantastic. You can't go wrong here. Great find. read more

I've been going to Helen's for facials and expensive treatments for 1 year. I have been pleased with the service and the estheticians. However; after being disappointed again recently with Helen, I am highly considering two other salons. For all the $$$$ I have spent on treatments, still to this day (recent) when I enter the salon, I always say hello to Helen and she barely acknowledges me. She doesn't call me by my name, she usually talks in the reception area about her issues or just talks to the staff. If I am going to continue to use Helen's for my services, I hope she reads this and will change her attitude. She is certainly not very professional or friendly. As a business owner, if I were to greet my customers/clientele (whether I knew them for years or just met them) I would lose business if I emulated Helen. read more

Just made a trip to see Tiffany again! She's still got it! No surprise though... she's so thorough in her massages and really pays attention to the areas you mention are giving you problems. I almost cried while she was working out a stubborn knot on my back but... I knew it needed to get worked out so I sucked it up. Add to that I have a high pain tolerance and hopefully that gives you an idea of just how strong she is and that she REALLY gets in there to work on you. Hoping I can make it in more often to see here! Thanks for another great massage Tiffany!! read more

Brooke was so friendly and welcoming upon arriving to what felt like a haven. The cozy location and room provided during my facial furthered such a relaxing experience! All while even having extractions take place Brooke was very attentive to my skins needs and how to proceed going further to get my skin cleared up from acne, and always made sure I was comfortable.The display of compassion was apparent throughout the entire facial. After the facial Brooke assisted me on finding the perfect products to treat my skin! I had such a wonderful experience and I'm so happy I found this place! Highly recommend this location and Brooke for high quality care! read more

What a great place. Today was my first visit with many more to come. Christie worked hard to get me on the schedule today. Tiffanie has awesome hands and helped worked out my kinks I only wish I had known about this place earlier. Trudy they are great. Highly recommend for massage, facials, spoiling yourself! read more

This is my first visit to Helen's Haven and just loved it! Since this was my first visit I opted for their mini facial, it was about one hour long. Helen took off every bit of makeup then cleaned, brushed, used a steamer for about 5 minutes and extracted all of the sebum that has been collecting in my pores. She said that it was pretty clean, but I'm sure that she was being polite. She is really very easy to talk to. She will educate you on the products and services but none of that excessive pressuring. I'll be returning next month for her signature facial which adds a massage to my arms and hands or maybe I'll try her triple action facial! read more

Helen knows skin and how to enhance ours. She's a pro; keeps up with the latest advances; and is kind, patient and sensitive to our individual personalities. Doc Val is medically and aesthetically experienced, diplomatic, gentle, answers any questions, an all-around gem. Helen's Haven: a warm ohana, every time you walk thru the door...regular client or occasional, or first time. read more

I started going to Helen's Haven about 7 months ago. Prior to this, I would go once in a while to a place on Ward Avenue. I was interested in finding a place closer to home (Hawaii Kai) that would also offer medical cosmetic services that I was in need of ASAP. Based on a glowing recommendation from my hairdresser Bonnie at The Hair Loft, I decided to give Helen's Haven a try. I started by seeing Dr. Val (who is the sweetest person) for botox. From there I went on to get Venus Freeze, filler and Intense Pulse Light treatments. After that, I started to get facials and the Perfector Lifting treatment from Helen (yay!). I had lash extensions done by Ronnie. I received many compliments on how nice they looked. Even my husband noticed them! I am so happy with the results that I now go every month religiously. I also switched over to the skin care line that is available at Helen's Haven. Another BIG advantage for me is that I am able to go after work rather than use my day off. read more

I've had a facial at Helen's and it was awesome! Skin felt amazing afterward. Only problem I had was my kid called me right in the middle of it... since my facial I have been using face products recommended by Helen from the salone. My dark spots have really faded. I am also a loyal patron. Do yourself a favor and go see Helen. Your future self will thank you! read more

I love this place... The first time I ever went to Helen's Haven was when my bf surprised me with a full body massage... I had a great experience and now scheduled for my mom and I to get a facial on her birthday... it was the best massage I ever had... I thought we were going to the maternity shop right outside of the shop but, when I entered the building complex, I saw Helen's Haven... I'm looking forward to getting my facial... read more

I got the best 90 minute full body massage from Linda. I told her my problem areas was my shoulder and upper back, so the massage started out with a hot compress on my back for about 10 minutes while she worked on other areas. The room was low lit with soft music. Linda was very thorough and took her time on my target spots. I could feel her pressure on my trigger points as she worked it. She also massaged under my foot which many massage parlors tend to skip over, unless you specify a foot massage. She used light oil that was not overbearing and not as "oily" if that makes sense. At the end of the appointment, she used warm wash cloths to wipe the remaining oils. She also gave me some pointers to relieve the stress from my trigger points so it would not build as quickly. On a separate day I also got an eye brow wax from Helen. She did a nice job re-shaping my brow. The massage parlor is very clean decorated with lots of beauty products. It feels like a beauty store with a spa. Parking is free; space may be tight if you go later in the day. They share the parking space along with restrooms with other tenants in the small building. There is free street parking and more free parking in the adjacent building by LaniKai Juice/Assagio. read more

i got pdo threads in my eyebrows and it was $500. not impressed. at all. I don't think she was either. She looked at the before and after pictures and couldn't even tell them apart (and said that to me.) The fact that she still charged me $500 for doing something she KNEW wasn't good- is shocking. (the front desk lady was extremely unwelcoming and cold to top it off.) if you want to see a difference and get your moneys worth i'd recommend going somewhere else. read more

I can't believe I waited over a year to use m gift certificate to this place! It was well worth it and the drive! Annabelle was phenomenal. It was such a relaxing experience. Will definitely be visiting them again! read more

I have had great experiences at Helen's Haven. After 10 years of coming to this spa for facials and massages, I will be moving to the mainland and will miss not being able to stop by for appointments. The staff is really good and have been really helpful to me when I needed to work on sore muscles or needed a facial refresh! Tiffany is awesome! read more

Helens haven is a fabulous place to go for facials and skin care treatments. I have been frequenting Helens for the last 11 years and their excellent service has never wavered! The continuity of care has been exceptional over the years and I enjoy a little slice of heaven at Helens haven. The products and treatments and staff are exceptional, I never feel rushed and always feel like I am an important client to them and they exceed in making me feel comfortable and relaxed with every treatment! read more

So I've been meaning to write this review for sometime, but better late than never. A few years ago I moved to Hawaii and was experiences the worst outbreak of acne in my life. Not even as a teenager did I have acne this bad. I was desperate to get it cleared up, and found Helen's Haven online. I made an appointment and I was immediately impressed. They clearly knew what they were doing. I followed their recommendations and my face started clearing up. I even switched to the Gabriel Correctives line of products. I was amazed at the results I got! Then once the acne cleared up they turned their attention to the scarring. After several glycolic acid peels, my skin began to look the best it has ever. They then switched my products again to something more adequate again to the Epionce line, which I still use today. After moving away from Hawaii, I still hold all other estheticians to the bar that Helen and her crew set. Thanks to them, I went from horrible cystic acne to receiving compliments all the time on my skin. I even shocked a make artist who asked if I was wearing make up and I said no. They are, simply, the best. read more

Best Facials and Massages on the Island! I recently returned to Helen's Haven after a few years away and had a facial with Helen. I was instantly reminded of how great her facials are. She does extractions (unlike other places that charge more for them, or where you have to specifically ask for them) and she also does a wonderful neck massage to complete the experience. My next service will be a massage and I am looking forward to it! read more

This is my first facial since moving to the island. A girlfriend recommended me and I trust her recommendations so I decided to give it a shot! I LOVE and appreciate that there's ample parking in front of Kahala Pet Hospital so that was awesome right off the bat! When you walked into the spa it's very quite and clean so great first impression there. I scheduled the Helen's Signature Facial service and my aesthetician was Tiffany and she was very friendly, gentle, yet she applied a NICE amount of pressure during the massages which helped in getting some knots out of my neck and back from working out. CAUTION: The extractions are uncomfortable but that is definitely a necessary evil and is to be expected. : ) Tiffany did a wonderful job and seemed to have done a very thorough job with the extractions while inflicting the least amount of pain - thank you! LOL I also purchased the SkinTech Luminous Stem Cell Serum. I've only been using it for 2 days but loving the texture of the product and how quickly it absorbs so far! My skin looked very bright and smooth after the facial and it also didn't break me out (and I have VERY sensitive skin). Last but not least, make sure to download their app to schedule appointments right from your phone and redeem loyalty points each time you book and complete a service. You won't regret it - give this place a shot!!!!! You'll love it!!!! : ) THANK YOU HELEN'S HAVEN!!!! read more

Just had a facial with Tiffany at Helen's Haven. It was WONDERFUL and SO RELAXING. I was pampered and given great advice by my facialist Tiffany. She was willing to take the extra time to explain how to improve the condition for my skin. Convenient location, free parking, easy access--very private atmosphere. read more

I recommend all my friends and personal training clients who have injuries, postural alignment issues, muscle imbalances and athletes to LInda for massage. I personally get weekly massages from her. ANd the owner is always introducing great new products to the spa. Great location. Great services. GOod prices. Good Parking. read more

I just recently visited this place and did the Mother's Day special. The massage was okay, but the facial, I wouldn't really call it that. The package, even at a discount for May was over priced for what you receive. I've never had a facial before where the steaming was over 10 minutes. It was definitely a new experience. Definitely won't be back. read more

Bliss. Just like you never realize how nice first class is when you always fly coach, I never knew how much I would love getting a pedicure and a facial at the same time. It felt a little decadent but I can't image going back to getting a pedicure at my usual "lined up and soaking" nail salon. Treat yourself to something special. read more
